JLaw's “Mother!” to release in September

Paramount Pictures has moved its Jennifer Lawrence thriller “Mother!” forward by a month to September 15 from its previous October 13 release date.

The studio confirmed the date change Thursday but did not elaborate. It's possible that “Mother!” could be premiered at the Venice Film Festival, which opens on August 30, or the Telluride Film Festival, which opens two days later, or even at the Toronto Film Festival, which opens September 7.

“Mother!” is directed and produced by Darren Aronofsky along with Scott Franklin and Ari Handel. It co-stars Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kristin Wiig, Domnhall Gleeson, and Ed Harris.

Lawrence and Bardem portray a couple whose relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.

Lawrence starred last year in “Passengers” and as Raven Darkholme-Mystique in “X-Men: Apocalypse”. Her other upcoming thriller “Red Sparrow”, directed by “Hunger Games” helmer Francis Lawrence, is set for a March 2 release from Fox. Lawrence has been nominated for Academy Awards for “Joy”, “Winter's Bone” and “American Hustle”, and won for “Silver Linings Playbook” in 2012.
